Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1 - New unit of competency
Application
This unit of competency requires application of skills in the use of electrical test equipment under qualified person guidance to measure voltage and current, and to test continuity, insulation and bonding on aircraft and components both in the hangar and workshop during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.
The unit is part of the Avionic Certificate II training pathway.
The unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
